'''Ryoku''' (Japanese: '''リョクシ''' ''Ryokushi'') is one of the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]].
 
==In the games==
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Ryoku appears in [[Relic Castle]] before the {{player}} goes to fight Team Plasma in the lower levels.  He later reappears at [[N's Castle]] with the other sages, trying to block the {{player}} from proceeding, but the [[Unova]] [[Gym Leader]]s stop them. After Ghetsis's defeat, Ryoku goes back to Relic Castle, going after a {{p|Volcarona}} to present Ghetsis, but gives up upon knowing of his disappearance. He gives the player {{TM|04|Calm Mind}} and is arrested by [[Looker]].
 
Ryoku does not appear in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.
 
===Quotes===
====Pokémon Black and White====
'''Relic Castle'''
:''"Ghetsis told us that once again we should test how much power you have. We will see if you can defeat Team Plasma!"''
:''"Go! Hurry and fall through the flowing sands!"''
 
'''N's Castle'''
:''"One can lose the forest for the trees."''
:''"We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. We've done everything in our power. All we can do now is believe in our lord N...and wait."''
 
'''Relic Castle'''
:''"I was planning to catch the Pokémon called {{p|Volcarona}} that lives in this Relic Castle and present it to Ghetsis. But the [[Shadow Triad]] said that Ghetsis has gone somewhere, right?"''
:''"The Seven Sages... We always said we were complete when the seven of us were together. Now I don't know the meaning of those words anymore. I guess I don't mind, even if we were being used, but the dream is over."''
:''"I no longer need [[TM04|this]]. Ghetsis gave it to me, but I have no use for it."''
:''"This Relic Castle and our own castle are both crumbling... But what's different is that this Relic Castle is the remains of a civilization. And our castle left nothing behind..."''
:''"Understood. But we don't know much about Ghetsis or our lord N! We haven't even figured out if they are father and son..."''

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[ABW22|To Make a Musical]]'', Ryoku was shown at Desert Resort, where he was waiting for his grunts to reunite so that they could enter Relic Castle. As one of them was unconscious after being defeated by [[Grimsley]]'s {{p|Bisharp}}, Ryoku decided to leave him behind and go inside, looking for {{p|Volcarona}}. He was last seen with a [[RageCandyBar]] in his hands, in front of some {{p|Darmanitan}} in {{a|Zen Mode}}.
 
==Trivia==
* In Black and White, Ryoku quotes a proverb by {{wp|Song Dynasty}} philosopher Hu Yin at N's Castle. In the Japanese version, he also quotes a line from ''{{wp|Zhuangzi (book)|Zhuangzi}}''.
